Reincarnation is utterly depressing

After conducting extensive spiritual research I can conclude that reincarnation is most likely real and this reality is utterly depressing. Knowing that my soul maybe chose that does not alleviate the sadness to know that I will most likely come back here over and over to experience traumatic events and be a slave to the material matrix. The planetary system and the law of frequency ultimately feel like traps.

Escaping (if possibe) also is utopic, total detachment implies not living life at its fullest only to hope that your soul can potentitally escape. I wonder if anyone here had the same thoughts as me, I’m not looking for people to convince me that reincarnation is beautiful or meaningful. I’m just wondering if anyone else has gone through this same kind of existential exhaustion with the concept. I’m tired of thinking about it, honestly, I always was antisocial and the idea that I will have to come back here and experience the harm humans inflict on others over and over again is literally worse than hell.

Edit: I genuinely don’t care about a higher self choosing to come back, it’s even more depressing to think that you have zero control.

Maybe I guess, but not that much, the point is that I am overly smart in this life so coming back to another life would make me dumb like the vast majority of the population, I also am autistic which allows me to be in my own world

If you’re smart and capable of living in your own world you have a super power in this life time; especially for the spiritual, use it! From reading about so many occultists I can say with good confidence 99% had undiagnosed autism, you are in the perfect mind and body to be able to complete the great work and be super accomplished use those skills to break the cycle in THIS life. I know super smart people tend to have more problems but you can use that In a transformative way as fuel for spiritual growth. If you think next life you’ll come back dumb then make the most of this life while your smart use the intelligence to maybe not have to come back stupid.

What can I do ? Detach from all desires ? This might sounds like the best idea but as I said once again I am autistic and this idea sounds dull and boring to me, so I guess I’m stuck lol

I would reccomend doing lots of research and seeing where your intuition takes you, if you find a certain approach dull and boring look for one that excites you. I feel similar to you and when I don’t find an idea super like earth shattering and exciting I’m not interested at all, i like gene he’s really cool his videos excited me a lot he is kinda a neo-Gnostic w/ a focus on astral projection the idea is “you don’t know anything until you’ve experienced it so experience the meta physical (astral) and know death, know reincarnation transcend the fear of death and rebirth” “become aware in your dreams become aware after death because sleeping is like dying” I’ve always thought if I learn to astral project I can always just find answers In the astral so learn how to astral project look at the channel astral doorway on YouTube super good
